I would prefer the wider range of options that a 8mm stem would provide rather than a Vestratto-specfic option, thanks.

Yeah, it’s pretty thin.. not ideal.

No matter how old it is, this habit will die immediately after your first serious heat lockYeah see that’s what I don’t like, I’d rather have it secure and use a tool to remove than have it slightly loose. Personal preference I suppose. Years of being a keen cyclist has drilled an odd sense of anxiety into me if things aren’t fully tight and there’s a rattleObviously not the same thing but old habits die hard!
The Tornado locks much harder than the Anvil, in fact you‘ll probably need pliers in addition to a hex key or wrench to unlock it. I also like all my devices rattle free, but after the second heat lock I never fully screwed in the bowl again.I love the idea of a hex key inside a donut magnet though
No, it's not a silly idea. I have been approached in the past by someone wanting the same thing made but for one of the previous Vestratto models. Unfortunately, the customer had a change of heart and it never made it off the drawing board. Perfectly feasible if it's something you'd like pursued.@ScruffyWoofers
I don’t know how feasible this is in a manufacturing sense but I’ve had an idea for a bowl remover that’ll help deal with the binding up until it cools that some are experiencing.
So it’s quite simple. This magnet is a popular accessory for the Anvil. It would basically be this with a slight tweak. In the centre of the magnetic surface would be a “nub” that is a hex key. It would magnetically attach to the bowl and the hex key part would then slot into the socket on the bowl. Would give much more leverage (is that the right term?) to unscrew the bowl with, and of course the magnet to quickly reset the clickers and help draw heat away from the oven and bowl. Maybe some ridges further up or a T shaped handle to give extra grip when turning too.
Perhaps it’s a silly high idea but thought I’d share
Hey Everyone, just jumping into the thread as a newbie.
Absolutely LOVING the tornado this device is epic, so much so that i produced my first How-To video / review ever
:
Really enjoying playing with this device but did have one heat thread lock that needed a hex key to open it back up, the rattle is annoying @eyevape but no where near as annoying as that lockup lol!

Oh bollocks. I did look at the photos of it after you mentioned and it did look a little thin. That’s a shame but I’m sure I’ll work something out.
Now you’re scaring me!No matter how old it is, this habit will die immediately after your first serious heat lock
I’ve had some utterly brutal heat locks with the original Dani v3 models, it was quite well known for it. If it’s as bad as that or worse then I totally understand now. A small hex key and magnet on a key chain might be a worthwhile investment then. That’s a shame they didn’t go through with it, I think it’s potentially a handy little tool. Well if it’s not something you’re planning to do as a general sale item then I think I’ll hit you up to get one made when I get my adapter off you in the future. Cheers man!
Anyone in Canada interested in the Tornado, I just ordered one with Sneaky Pete Canadian website https://vapenorth.ca/collections/hot-new-products/products/vestratto-tornado?variant=44239048048819
Cheers friends, greatly appreciate your assistance
In hindsight I probably should have just asked for the OD on the male joint component since that's the end I'm trying to match and would have tolerance control over.
But based on the dimensions you kind folks supplied for the Tornado head, I'm guestimating the male jointed base is ~9MM OD, with 1MM wall O rings, ~half recessed, which is then being compressed into the ~9.5-9.76 female head?
It's a new high surface area design I came up with based on fluid expansion.
Currently the design is 4" (100MM) long with over 8" squared of internal surface area.
The idea is to do something effective in function but simple enough to manage the price point.
I'll try to post some initial renderings briefly, I just need to finish up a few things.
Appreciate your interest FC!
